The Printer and His Devils. 

SCENE I— The office of ^^Bock Town Shoe-string'^— table ^ R. C.^^ 
chair, l. 1 e. — door c. — pile of papers around table. 

A.DOLPHUS Cicero discovered at table icriting— makes grimaces^ etc» 

Enter, Newsboy, l. 

Newsboy. Here's your "Koek Town Pulverizer !" (exit, c, 

Adolphus. My rival's got out his paper this mornino'. Wonder 
\v{).Mt he's .cot "to say! (starts to read) Hello! What's this! 
"Adolphus Cicero, the cracked brained editor of "Shoe-string" fired 
another broad-side of the milk and water doctrine into the Demo- 
cratic ranks last week. The milk was sour as the doctrine itself and 
th'^ water did but further harm than to wash a few specks of dirt ofi 
a i aling mug wump's back. The editor of the "Shoe-string" is a 
fanatic or lunatic and ought to be caged." (jumps up and crushes 
paper in his hand) Oh, the mean, low-lived, contemptible polly- 
wogger! I^ I had my hand on the nape of his neck I'd shake him 
tilHils toe nails dropped off! So my contemporary, Mr. Samuel 
Slick, editor of tiie "Eock Town Pulverizer" is a snide, a thief, a 
scandalmonger, a woman-hater, a — a — a — raving maniac! Talk's 
about me as if I were a dog! Calls ??ie a fanatic or lunatic ! Me! 
Why, I'm editor of the "Kock Town Shoe-string," the only and best 
Republican paper in Rock county ! 3Ie! AVhy, I'm candidate for 
Congress of tills "14th district of— !* Yet he calls me a fanatic or 
lunatic — but I'll be elected in spite of the slandering tongue of 

Samuel Slick and the combined efforts of and !t I'm the best 

I'iian in seven states and don't you give it away! When I come 
back from Congress, I'm going to run for president — 

Andy Hanks sticks his head through door and says, "Of a sand 
bank!'' — Adolphus goes to table and sits down. 

— When I get to be Congressman won't Sam Slick feel mean! I'll 
smoke ten cent cigars, drink fifty cent whisky and introduce free 
trade bills every day. Who knows — I might fall in love with some 
prett}!^ girl and get married like Grover Cleveland did. The future 
is bright indeed and no man knows that the future has in store for 
me. "(AndycoicZ John playing on fifes outside) For Heaven's sake 
what's that! 

*You oan name state in which you live. 

fYou can use the names of two gentlemen from your town. 



^ THE rraNTEii and his devils. 

Enter, c, Andy and Joui^, playing on fifes— march past tabU ton.-— 

then turn and ao in front to l.— Andy sits on chairs and shoves 

John to the ,/?oo>— Adolphus gets up— appearing to be very mad 

and makes wild motions, 

Andy. S;iy, boy, what are you Inyhi' down th, re for? 'Taint 

bed-lime vet! 

John. Go 'way from here, yon fool! Come out in tlic street iiri 
ru knock yonr bnckboiie up in yonr mouth so you can't chaw I 

AdoL {catches them by the shovlder—pnshes them to the it. and l.) 
Look here, you young rao-a-mumn:^ ! What in the thunder are you 
malcino- so n'uieh noise about? Andy ILinks, as long as you have 
been devil in this oftlce, you haven't learned to behave yourself ytit! 
Come out here ! Wiiat have you got to say for yourself? 

AndAi. Why, when I was goin' down, to tlie post ofiice to get tho 
mail, i saw »John Henry there, siitin' on tlie curb intone play in' on 
two fift'S. I asked him to lend me one and he did, .-nid he went 
down to the post office with me. On the w;iy he asked me what I 
was doin' ; I told him I Avas.devil at the ''Shoe-string" printin' office. 
He said he would like to be a devil, and so I brought him here to see 
if you wouldirt give Ijim a place. Say, boss, I b'lievc he would 
make a good devil, 'cause he's mean enough ! 

Adol. So, my young friend, you'd like to be a devil ? 
John. Y-e-s, I'd like to be a devil ! 

Adol. All right! I'll gi^'e you a place here, and I'll pay you off 
every Saturday night, {to Andy) ^^■here's the mail? 

Andy. Here it is ! {gives letter) John Henry, a tune ! 
Adolphus reads Utter — John and Andy on the opposite sides of 
the stage — 5 oii^ plays a tune — Adolphus catches Andy by the 
Qar — then marches over to John, catches him by the ear — marches 
them to c. of stage. 
John ) 

& V Oh!' O— 0— 0— V,-: 
Andy. ) 

Adol. Look here, you two apes! I'll have yoii to understand 
that I won't have this confou.nded racket here ! {pulls ears 

Andy 1 

& )>Oh~o— ow! 
John.) 
Andy. Adolphus Cicero, did you see the gardener? 

(Adolphus pulls ear^ 
Andy '] 

& \ Oh — o — — ow !

Adol. 'No, I did not! 

Andy. Well, he wnnted to see you. (pulls eari

THE rniNTER AND HIS DEVILS. 6 

Adol. (shoves them apart) Well then, go I (he goes to table— puts 
on hat— takes umbrella) Well, boys, I miist go down street! Andy- 
Hanks, you take John Henry down into the composing room, show 
him how to set type, clear up pi, wash rollers, sweep out, and all the 
rest of the duty that falls to the lot of the devils. I'll be back in 
one-half hour and see what progress you have made. No loating, 
now, hut work! ' (exit, c. 

John. Say, Andy Hanks, let's go and clean up the pi ! Say, have 
you got any pungkin pie? Golly, I'm as hungry as a dead owl I 

Anchj. Say, John Henry, you won't want to clean up pi many 
times ! It ain't like eatin' pumx)kin pie ! If it was, Adolphus Cicero 
wouldn't have to pay rae any wnges ! All he'd have to do was to 
keep me cleanin' up pie— but say, John Henry, I got to go and cor- 
rect a galley of type. You stay here till I come back. (exit, c. 

John. Say, now! Ain't I a purty devil I I ain't got no tailor 
no horns! I always thought devils had tails and horns. I wonder 
what makes people call boys that works in printen offices devils. It's 
an awful bad name, but I bet I know! It's 'cause printen offices 
are such bad places thnt they have got to have bad names to match ; 
but I know I'll make a devil, 'cause pa says the devil was born in 
me! 

Enter, Andy, c, icith galley oj type — seats himself at table and reads 

proof-sheet. 

Andy. Go and tell Miss Alice to send me a lower case ''a" in non- 
pareil, a cap "m" in long primer, lower case "e" in bourgeois — hurry 
up now! 

John drcps into chair and faints — Andy looks up from paper and 

sees John. 

— John Henry! John Henry! Well, blast my buttons! If that 
new devil hain't gone to sleep already ! But I'll wake him up ! I'll 
ram this paper into his mouth iind then give him a touch Avith the 
sharp point of this pin. 

Sticks paper into his mouth — John jumps up, having hold of Andy's 

finger — Andy yells. 
— Leave go there, or I'll hit you over the eye ! 

John. \Say, Andy Hanks, what you take me for! I ain't got a 
memory as big as Boston ! If you make me faint again, I'm a dead 
boy, 'cause I ain't used to faintin', and my jm and my ma says it 
ain't good for my constitution! 

A7idy. Well, never mind, John Henry! Ah, here's a bad mis- 
take! John Henry, tell Miss Alice to send me two "m braces." 
Hurry up, now! 

John. Say, do you think she will give them tome? Don't you 
think I'd better get a knock down fust? 

Andy. No ; go do as I tell you. 

John. All right — two embraces! Yum, yuu), yum ! (exit, l. 

Andy. Ha, ha, ha! Now lookout for fun! I wonder if he's got 
sense enough to ask her for the type. Like as not he'll go and hug 
her likfe a polar bear. 

Tells an<^ screams heard outside — John runs in and gets b:'hind tabic. 

Enter, Alice Footslug, c, tcith mallet in hand. 



6 TEE FFdNTEB AND HIS DEVILS. 

Alice. Come out of there, you scamp ! How dare you hug me in 
this outrageous manner ? Andy Hanks, what's the meaning of this ? 

Andij. Cahn yourself, Miss Alice! I just sent John Henry after 
two "ni braces", and he tried to hug you, did he? 

Alice. Yes, lie did ; and if he comes near me again, I'll break his 
head with this mallet ! 

Andy. Stand up, John Henry ! Where are those two "m braces" 
I sent you for? 

John. You see, I didn't have time— she got after me with that 
mallet, and 1 had to cut and run. 

Andy. John Henry, I don't believe that! Miss Alice, didn't he 
get his two "ra braces?" 

Alice. Yes; he did ! 

John. No; 1 didn't! 

Alice. Did ! 

John. Didn't ! 

Alice \ Did! did! did! 
& 

John. I Didn't! didn't! didn't! 
- Andy. Shut up! John Henry, didn't you get your two "m 
braces?" 

John. ]S"o; I didn't! 

Andy. Why didn't you? 

John. I didn't have time. 

Andy. Wh}^ didn't you have time? 

John, You see, when I got done embracing her onct, she got 
after me with that mallet and 1 had to dust. 

Andy. So you tried to hug her. {fioih laugh 

Alice. Shut up, you mud faces ! 

Andy 
& Mud faces ! 

John. 

Alice. Yes, mud faces! ISTow, I am ,^^; .,^ br.ck to my work and 
if either of you bother me again, I'll tell tlie editor and have you 
both discharged. {exit,\. 

John. I'll be dogoned if I go after an}'- more embraces ! 

Andy. All right, John Henry ! Say, did you ever see any prin- 
ter's lice? 

John. jS'o; do printers have lice? Say, Andy, have you got any 
lice? 

Andy. 'Nol Printers don't have any lice, but the type does. 
(pours dirty black water into galley) Come, look right close and you 
can see them. (John comes up and looks at galley) Do you see 
them ? 

John. No, I don't see them ! 

Andy. Look closer! 

John sticks head about an inch from galley — Andy scjuirts dirty watei* 
into John's face. 

Andy. John Henry, did you see them? 

John, {loipes face) Yes, I did! Dog on you, if you wasn't bigw 
ger than me, I'd chew your ear ! Got any drinkin' water 'round 
here? I'm thirstier than a muzzled bull clog! 

Andy. Yes; wait — I'll go and get you some! {exit, c. 

John. I bet that old fool won't^play any more iDractical tricks oa 
me! 



THJE rmxTEn akd itis devils. 7 

Enter, Andy, with two tin cnps vntli vater — one icith black on bottom 
that will rub off easily. 

Andy. Now, Jolin Henry, you must learn to drink like a devil. 
(gives blackened mp to John) "^Just watch nie and do as I do! First 
yon o;et down < -onr knees— {go through motions) — shut your eyes, 
put your flno•o^^^ .ii the watsr, rub tliein on the bottom of the cup 
and then rub your hand over your lace. Now you can drink. 

(Andy laughs— J oii::^ drinks 

John. Sny, And}'-, do you believe in i:;iiosts? 

Andy. No, there ain't no such thino-s! 

John. Yes there is — and they can talk, too ! 

Andy. Oh, humbug! 

John. No; they ain't no humbu?, or any other kind of I)ugs, 
either! (in a very tragical manner) You know as I was passing by 
the graveyard last night, I happened to turn my head, and I saw a 
ghost approacliing me. I wasn't scared— no! So I waited till it 
came up. Soon it »vas at my side, placed its long bony hand upon 
nay shoulder, and whispered, *'I am your father's ghost!" I w\asn't 
scared— no — o— o! We talked awhile, but soon were disturbed by 
something passing along near by. My father clutched my shoulder- 
blade, his eyes were flashing fire, (Andy appears frightened) and 
looking up into my face, he said, "My dear and only son, what's 
that, that moves as softly as a pussy cat? I mean the thing upon 
two legs, with feathers in its head. It has the gift of speech, I hear, 
but surely can't be human; and as my pa's ghost disappeared over 
the graveyard fence, I yelled, "Pa, that's what they call a woman!" 
And the last time I saw my pa's ghost he wasn't in sight. 

Ajidy. Golly! wasn't you skeered? But say, John Henry, I've 
got to go in the other room and do some work, and as you have not 
got a good memory, I'll hang up signs showing you what to do. 

Jiangs up two signs — one is, "sit down'^ ivhich he hongf! on chair — the 
other '■'■bring some wood'\ lohich he hangs on th.i toall — John sees 
one on chair. 

—Do everything the signs tell you and you will soon learn to be a 
clevil. * (exit c. 

John, (reads) "Sit down !" t don't care if I do. (goes to chair 
and sits down — jumps up and screams) Dog on his old pins! (sees 
other sign — reads) "Bring some wood." I don't care if I do — any- 
thing to get out of here ! (exit l. 

Enter, Adolphus, e., intoxicated — has sign pinned on collar, "hold 
my head,'^ and one on seat, "paddle me here" — he turns back to 
audience for a minute. 

Adol. I've — ■'^ic — had a glorious time — hie — had some ten cent — 
hie — cigars and some lifty cent whisky — hio— just like I'm going to 
have when I go— hie— to Congress ! I met— hie— two old college 
friends and they "set 'em up!" Loafed long enough— must get to 
work. (goes to table — leans over it — begins to icrite 

Enter, Andy and John, l. — John carrying barrel stave — they seQ 
signs and motion to each other as to which shall go first. 

Andy, I'll hold his head and you paddle him here. 

(John paddles Adolphus, who yells and screams
